I may be in the vicinity on Thursday for a meeting and would appreciate any 
reports (positive or negative) on sightings tomorrow (Wed).  Thanks.

I visited Hatchie NWR in Haywood County this afternoon at about 2:45pm. Within 
5 minutes I found the Say's Phoebe flycatching over the grassy area near the 
boardwalk. I watched it for several minutes and once it perched within 25 feet 
of me on one of the refuge signs. Unfortunately before I could snap a picture 
at this close view, an elderly couple out for their afternoon stroll walked 
right by my truck and directly towards the bird on the blacktop walkway, and 
the bird flushed farther away to a small Baldcypress tree. It was still there 
when I left at 3:15pm.
 
Thanks to the McWhirters for reporting it and everyone else who has posted 
updates on this bird.
 
Good birding,
